Longitudinal survey data from 2008 to 2021 reveals a significant decline in trust in electoral management bodies among right-wing Canadians after 2019. The dataset combines Canadian Election Study surveys with 2021 Media Ecosystem Observatory data, authored by Mathieu Lavigne for Public Opinion Quarterly. It measures confidence, satisfaction, and fairness perceptions over a 13-year period.
